Outside Play on a Beautiful Spring Day [VIDEO]

Sud LOVES to go outside and listen to every little sound and see every movement, whether it's the cats playing, garbage truck driving by, trees blowing in the breeze, kids riding their bikes, among many others sights and sounds. Up until now though, his favorite  thing to do was just sit outside and play with the grass.  Luckily, he hasn't eaten the grass, twigs, and dirt that he picks up, but instead studies it intently . Because today was a perfectly warm and beautiful day, I filled up a bowl of water to see if he would play in it.  He LOVED it! I look forward to my next trip at Target because I will definitely be buying a wadding pool. Enjoy...

A brief video of him playing with the water...

Now, the pictures...

Examining the tidbits he finds in the grass.

Already getting messy and dirty. I love it!

Sud splashed so much, his entire shirt was drenched and needed to come off.  

6th Month Reflections...

   This is what Sud is doing now...  

• Sud weighs 18lb 14oz (72%ile), Sud's height is 29in (95%ile), Sud's head circumference is in the 89%ile because of his big intelligent brain :) 
• Sud can turn and do a 1/2 circle on his belly.  
• No teeth yet
• Sud isn't quite babbling. He vocalizes in a high squeal singing voice.  
• Sud can sit unsupported for minutes at a time. 

Time for 6th month pictures!

Sud loves his bath time. He will soon be starting swimming lessons!

Cuddle time with his hard working daddy.

He is always happy to see his Uncle John, which luckily is quite often.

A Day in the Life

We had a very fun day last Friday.  Sud and I visited with Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Jim. Sud showed off his sitting skills, which very much impressed grandma. Auntie Ava and Great Grandma Puerta were also there.  Afterwards, we all took a lovely walk in the San Pedro marina.   Another wonderful day in the life of Little Sud Doss.

Grandma Kathy...

Words can't describe how much Little Sud loves his Grandma Kathy. Every time he hears her voice on the  speaker phone, he stops what he's doing to focus on her voice.  Every time she walks in the house and either starts singing or playing games with him, I instantly become old news. :)

  

5th Month Reflections

This is what Sud is doing now...  

• He started going to his Mommy & Me class.
• Sud finally likes being on his belly!  
• I think he began teething.  Sud is constantly chewing on his hands and exploring his world by putting EVERYTHING in his mouth.
• Sud began to eat solid foods. His favorites are sweet potatoes, sqaush and avocado. 
• Sud loves to grab and play with his feet while lying down. 
• Although it's not as much as I would like, Sud began to laugh and giggle.
• Sud is beginning to sit up with some help from mommy and daddy.

Time for 5th month pictures!

Sud is starting to grow on Horchata Kitty.   

How could he not love looking at himself.

Chomp, chomp, chomping away.

  

Sud loves experimenting and playing with objects. The funny thing is he loves everyday household items over fancy store bought toys.

Latest Toy: Feet

Around 4 1/2 months, Sud realized he didn't just have hands to play with, but feet too!
